arXiv:2603.03753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The ongoing shift of AI models from centralized cloud APIs to local AI agents on edge devices is enabling \textit{Client-Side Autonomous Agents (CSAAs)} -- persistent personal agents that can plan, access local context, and invoke tools on behalf of users. As these agents begin to collaborate by delegating subtasks directly between clients, they naturally form \emph{Agentic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks}. Unlike classic file-sharing overlays where the exchanged object is static, hash-indexed content (e.g., files in BitTorrent), agentic overlays exchange \emph{capabilities and actions} that are heterogeneous, state-dependent, and potentially unsafe if delegated to untrusted peers. This article outlines the networking foundations needed to make such collaboration practical. We propose a plane-based reference architecture that decouples connectivity/identity, semantic discovery, and execution. Besides, we introduce signed, soft-state capability descriptors to support intent- and constraint-aware discovery. To cope with adversarial settings, we further present a \textit{tiered verification} spectrum: Tier~1 relies on reputation signals, Tier~2 applies lightweight canary challenge-response with fallback selection, and Tier~3 requires evidence packages such as signed tool receipts/traces (and, when applicable, attestation). Using a discrete-event simulator that models registry-based discovery, Sybil-style index poisoning, and capability drift, we show that tiered verification substantially improves end-to-end workflow success while keeping discovery latency near-constant and control-plane overhead modest.

arXiv:2507.13231v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conventional flow matching and diffusion-based policies sample via iterative denoising from standard noise distributions (e.g., Gaussian), and require conditioning modules to repeatedly incorporate visual information during the generative process, incurring substantial time and memory overhead. To reduce the complexity, we develop VITA, VIsion-To-Action policy, a noise-free and conditioning-free flow matching policy learning framework that directly flows from visual representations to latent actions. Since the source of the flow is visually grounded, VITA eliminates the need for visual conditioning during generation. As expected, bridging vision and action is challenging, because actions are lower-dimensional, less structured, and sparser than visual representations; moreover, flow matching requires the source and target to have the same dimensionality. To overcome this, we introduce an action autoencoder that maps raw actions into a structured latent space aligned with visual latents, trained jointly with flow matching. To further prevent latent action space collapse during end-to-end training, we propose flow latent decoding, which anchors the latent generation process by backpropagating the action reconstruction loss through the flow matching ODE (ordinary differential equation) solving steps. We evaluate VITA on 9 simulation and 5 real-world tasks from ALOHA and Robomimic. VITA achieves 1.5x-2x faster inference compared to conventional methods with conditioning modules, while outperforming or matching state-of-the-art policies.
